​Advent is a season of preparation and expectation.  The Sacrament of Reconciliation is an all merciful, all loving God offering his people full pardon and peace.  All we need to do is come and receive it.  There’s no better way to start Advent than to clear your conscience with the gift of the Lord’s forgiveness.

Starting December 1, 2021 and continuing on the first and third Wednesdays of every month, Winneconne will offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. 

Starting December 8, 2021 and continue on the second and fourth Wednesdays of every month, Omro will offer the Sacrament of Reconciliation from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.
​
Father Bill Hower will be in Omro and Father Dave Duffeck will be in Winneconne.  We are grateful for these priests for providing our parishioners opportunities to receive this precious sacrament.
